Two songs by each contestant and Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert were all playing with their A games tonight.

I thought, however, that the judges choices for songs were all pretty strange... especially Paula's choice of "Dance Little Sister" for Danny.

Let's get right into it. Read on to see how the best of the best fared tonight:

Danny Gokey sang "Dance Little Sister." As mentioned before this was a Paula Abdul choice, so I won't hold it against Danny. It was a strange song and strange arrangement. Really, the only winner on this song was the saxophone player's solo. Can we vote for him?

Danny's second song "You Are So Beautiful" showed me why I was such a Danny fan years (or was it months?) ago. It was a little boring at the beginning, but picked up in the middle and the end. I still think Danny has gone downhill since the beginning of the season, but this redeemed him a little bit.

Kris Allen first sang "Apologize." Both Randy and Kara had to share a song to pick for Kris. Yet another reason why four judges is pointless.

The problem with this version is that Kris didn't sing it any better than the original. In fact, he sang it worse.

His second song though, a Jason Mraz-esque version of Kanye West's "Heartless" was so, so much better. This version won him some votes this week and may just swing him into the finals, although it will be tough competition.

What he does with his mouth though is very distracting. I had to turn away while he sang this song because the twisting of his face ruined the song for me (yes, I'm shallow like that).

Warning to Adam Lambert fans, this next opinion is not for the faint of heart!
Adam sang Simon's pick of U2's "One" for his very song. I've decided there are only two sides to Adam, the rocking screeching and the brooding screeching. My mom (a huge Adam fan in case you forgot) told me I'm too emotional when I write about him.

Is hate an emotion? Ok, I don't hate the guy himself, but if I never have to hear him singing on Idol again it will be too soon. But, alas, I fear my dream will never come true since once again the judges practically pulled out their own phones to vote for him tonight.
His second song Aerosmith's "Crying" wasn't any better. As my friend Kristin said, he needs to be on Broadway and nowhere else.

And Kristin and I aren't the only ones who feel this way. While he can't speak or vote, my cat leaves the room whenever Adam sings and refuses to come back until the screeching has ended.

Ok, moving on. I want to say it's a tough call on who will go, but after the judges blatant push for Adam and Danny, it's fairly obvious that Kris is the odd man out.

I hope I'm wrong, because besides being a cutey-pie, Kris has a likeable attitude and I've never outwardly cringed (that I can remember) during one of his performances.

What do you guys think? I just hate to think that Adam has been pegged the winner since the beginning and all our voting is for nothing.
